Xavier Musketeers welcome former Butler assistant to the men's basketball coaching staff

The Xavier Musketeers returned to practice July 17 in preparation for next month's trip to Spain. Here's an early look at the roster Adam Baum, abaum@enquirer.com

Matthew Graves has seen a lot of basketball games at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

Too many to remember.

Although, Graves, who played five seasons at Butler University before returning to his alma mater for 12 years as an assistant coach, has never seen a game inside Hinkle Fieldhouse from the opposing bench.

That will change this season when Xavier visits Butler. The Musketeers introduced Graves Monday as the special assistant to second-year head coach Travis Steele, a fellow Butler alum.
